When Web 2.0 rolled out, Content Management Systems or CMS was introduced. CMS’s are softwares that helps publishing content online and managing their rights, permissions etc. CMS’s also makes publishing easy so even those without HTML knowledge could easily publish online.

Features of Content Management Systems included:

Content Portability: Since the content was stored in a central database, it could be easily moved across design changes and software upgrades.

Scalability: CMS’s allowed the dynamic growth of any website. Websites build on CMS’s are easily scalable. For e.g. If you wish to add a store along with your fashion website, it could be easily done without having to migrate to a totally new system.
